### 1/5 — Will miss this

*2025-02-05*

Can’t access full version in Canada. Have used this for years, disappointed.

### 1/5 — Lent Lite

*2023-03-15*

Downloaded and it wouldn’t even open.

### 1/5 — Paid for Upgrade & Did NOT get Full Version

*2022-03-05*

I paid to get the full version and I still do not have the full version. I was robbed!

### 4/5 — Thumbs up

*2018-02-16*

I appreciate the offering of readings to meditate on

### 5/5 — Fantastic and Enlightening

*2017-04-14*

Gaining Almighty God's Wisdom every time I meditate on these words !!!

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2017-03-01*

As someone converting to Catholicism and fasting for Lent for the first time ever, I am disappointed that I have to pay to receive a meditation more than every other day. This could really discourage people like myself with no money from continuing. The meditations from Aquinas (which are great!) were selected 100 years ago and required little work by the developer to put in here, and could be found for free elsewhere. I suggest making the alarm reminder the "plus" feature, and not the content, which is intended to draw souls closer to god, not just wealthier souls (I would hope). Why charge your users for access to the meditations, when it's not your writing or even your selected passages?

### 4/5 — Lent lite version

*2016-03-20*

I love this app, however the lite version only allows you to view every second day which I don't like. It should be offered for free during this period.

### 1/5 — Lent Lite

*2016-03-11*

Liked the Prepatory Prayer

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-04-04, version 2.2*

Thanks for built in Lenten devotions - this is lovely and a great way to stay committed to a beautiful season

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need!

*2015-02-25*

As one who is growing up surrounded by technology, it is comforting to know that such things can be used to help boost your relationship with God!
